Voicemail notification constantly in icon tray

As above, use to have to clear app cache on my previl is (Huawei) phone to clear it from notification tray (no messages were in voicemail). Got a new phone hoping problem would resolve (Samsung S5) but the voicemail icon is still in the notification tray even though there are no voicemail. Manually clearing phone app cache isn't a solution as it just comes back a few hours later. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Hi Jaimiebyrne!

Thanks for getting in touch with us!

Is your Voicemail service currently switched on or off? You can test this by calling 555.

Service is switched on and I have a personal greeting. People can leave messages.

Re: Voicemail notification constantly in icon tray

Can you try calling the long Voicemail number rather than the short and check for any outstanding messages?

This number is: 07870020555

No messages are in the voicemail. As a suggestion, could it be possible that there is a problem with your server sending out incorrect information? As I said previously, this problem was the same on another handset and it doesn't appear to be hardware related at my end. Thanks for your help so far.

Re: Voicemail notification constantly in icon tray

I have had a look into this Jaimiebyrne and it appears it could be a handset issue. I have found a third party website via Google that may have a few possible solutions. Can you try the following steps and follow them with a re-boot of your handset?

These can be found over at http://www.geeksquad.co.uk/articles/how-to-remove-stuck-notifications-on-android-smartphones.

Let me know how you get on with these.

If you send me a Private Message with your details, I can turn off your Voicemail service and then back on again.
